T205 Gold Border Chase - Both Ears ...

If I were collecting a mid grade set I would not want either one. If I had to take one or the other as filler until a found a more suitable example I would take the 2.5 because of the centering and corners...better eye appeal I guess.

EXACTLY the kind of set that I am working and I agree with Tom 100%...

Just curious why you wouldn't want the 2.5? Not nice enough for mid grade, I presume?

The scuffing on the front...especially its placement on Chase's face. Beautiful otherwise but I would take an example with worse corners over that one with the scuffing. I wouldn't want either one if I was collecting only mid grade examples for a set.

I like the colors on the 6 much better but wouldn't shell out the difference on that card.

I like the 2.5 much better because I hate the big white spot in the upper right corner on the 6. On T205's I hate white spots showing in the gold borders.

What's wrong with the 2.5? Does it have back damage?

Clarification on the back..was probably soaked before and is part of the downgrade so isn't really clean, but no letters are messed up (which is what I usually look for).......
